Acts of the Apostles 25:7

In context

5“So let your leading men come down with me,” he said, “and if there is anything wrong with the man, let them bring their charge.” 6After spending eight or ten days among them at most, he went down to Caesarea; and the next day he took his seat on the tribunal and ordered Paul brought in. 7When Paul appeared, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood round him and brought many grave charges which they could not prove. 8Paul answered in his own defense: “I have committed no offense against the law of the Jews, or against the temple, or against Caesar.” 9But Festus, wanting to do the Jews a favor, said to Paul, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and stand trial there before me on these charges?”
